    I think it all depends on how, or if the reactors melt down, and how many. Im not sure these reactors are capable of puluting as bad as the one in Russia, and I do belive its tough for the radiation to be pushed into the jet stream.

    it seems like that its been quite some time and its only gotten worse. Ill worry less when they turn it around and start to make some ground on cooling the reactors.

    it also seems like they haven't been 100% truthful nor accurate...

    This is an article that discusses some of how the nuke industry works in Japan. It's worth a read.

    same shit as everyone else
    Well the 45 minutes ago the Base Commander of Misawa AFB just said that their clear of any possibility of radiation poisoning. I believe this is the largest big base we have in that area. I guess we also just sent 8 C-17's from Hawaii there as well as 45 helicopters in support of the rescue efforts ect. Misawa is about to blow up! Figuratively speaking... With all that said I would think its safe to say its not going to be anything like what the folks on the fox news thing would lead you to believe... Sorry but that shits retarded... especially the "fallout pic"

    It wont be many years from now that they make a real crappy movie about this! maybe even before that they will make the crappy documentary...I'll just wait for the History Channel episode to air...that will be the interesting one.

    I call bullshit on this map.

    You want me to think that entire radiation cloud is going to be focused into that tiny jet stream across the whole pacific? Think again.

    I think that instead of creating ways to solve our issues like this and hurricane katrina after the impact has already hit such as the examples that take place on the news we should focus on making ways to solve and take care of the problems before they occur.

    Great idea, but in reality, who wants to spend money on what iffing everything? you cant prepare for every contingency, you can only mitigate the most likely scenarios.
